New iPhone App Helps You Find A Doctor

If you find yourself in an unfamiliar city and feeling a bit
under the weather, a new iPhone
app may be useful. The new i Need a Doctor (www.ineedadoc.net) app helps you find a nearby physician using
powerful databases from two of the most respected doctor-rating services in the
United States.

As a joint venture between The Paladin Group LLC (the app
developer), the health care research organization Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. (www.castleconnolly.com),
and the physician rating site DrScore (www.drscore.com), the new app combines information from the
companies databases into a real-time, user-friendly application.

Ralph DiSibio, CEO of Paladin, LLC, said “The app helps
everyone from people who need a doctor when they are away from home to those
who are searching for a top doctor in a particular specialty to those who are
trying to help aging parents in a distant city find medical help.”

After opening the application, users can enter a zip code and
choose from more than 100 specialties to help narrow the list of available
doctors. After entering search criteria, a list of doctors will appear with
icons next to each. You can then see more information about a doctor, including
his or her years of practice, schools attended, address, and phone number. A
Google icon will bring up a map and directions to the physician's office. In
addition to basic information about a doctor, users can also access any patient
ratings the doctor has received and see if the doctor has earned the "Top
Doctor" designation.
